ABOUT THE TEST
- To take any placement examination in the Romance Languages, you MUST SIGN UP ONLINE with your net id at the following URL www.hunter.cuny.edu/rlplacement on or after September 15th.
- Please be sure to sign up online because these exams are not given by appointment. Although not timed, each exam takes approximately one hour. You are welcome to walk in within the 2-hour time frame, but allow yourself enough time to finish before the end time. - You will receive a confirmation e-mail once you have registered for the exam. If you cannot attend, you must cancel at least 24 hours before the date of your exam.
The exams are scheduled eight times a year on dates announced each semester in the Chanin Center website and on Department bulletin boards. The test is approximately one hour long. It consists of numerous short answer questions on computer and also a writing sample (please bring paper and pen). (The exam is administered on a first-come first-serve basis. Please be prepared to wait if all the computer stations are in use when you arrive.) Please note that the exams are FREE of CHARGE. French and Spanish exams may be taken more than once. Test results are valid for two years. Full exemptions from the Foreign Language requirement are reported to the Registrar and recorded on student transcripts.
